    My rekindled love for kung fu flicks – thanks to seeing Donnie Yen in Rogue One – continues with yet another Yen film (after watching the Ip Man trilogy), this time Kung Fu Killer. I guess the best way to describe this would be to say that it’s like the movie Seven, but with kung…

    I just fell on this last night, a couple of hours before the end of Christmas, and I’m glad I watched it. It’s a really great parody of the type of Christmas episodes you’d see on sitcoms in the 80s (think Full House and Family Matters), and it reminds me that I really do need…

  • Ip Man 3

    I definitely liked this, but it’s wasn’t as good as the first two films – it doesn’t have as many classic fight scenes, although the blade fight at the end was pretty great (and the best fight of the series is still the one between Yen and Sammo Hung on the table in Ip Man…

    I’m only a couple of episodes in, but so far I’m very pleasantly surprised by The OA. I hadn’t heard anything about this until a few days before it was released on Netflix last week, and found the trailer to be quite intriguing. What I’m seeing so far is still wrapped in mystery – which…

    This afternoon I watched Ip Man 2, which is as good if not better than the first Ip Man movie. The fight sequence on a table with Sammo Hung is truly glorious, and gave me chills – Hung is also responsible for the action direction in all of the Ip Man movies. And the kid…

    Rogue One has put me in a Donnie Yen state of mind, and so I had a lot of fun the other night revisiting the first Ip Man movie. Great, great flick, as good if not better than I remembered, and Yen is a joy to watch throughout. I’m following this up with Ip Man…

  • Rogue One

    I loved Rogue One so damn much, that I can honestly say it’s my new favorite Star Wars movie. I loved it on so many levels, from the story, to the new cast of characters, to just, well, so many things. It’s the only Star Wars movie to make me well up a few times,…

    I’ve been loving this. Sure, the fact that you need to be online at all times is an annoyance in that it prevents me from playing while on the subway, but it doesn’t change that the gameplay itself is hugely satisfying, and once you get past all of the levels, it’s also quite fun to…

  • Longest Night

    This is also a supplemental experience to Night in the Woods (like Lost Constellation), except it’s more of a little music experiment. It doesn’t offer a fun story like Lost Constellation, but I enjoyed it for what it is, and the song that plays is a joy to take in – after I was done…

    A few weeks ago I bought that big bundle of indie games for charity (over 100 games), and now that it’s the holiday break, I decided to start digging into them. My first pleasant surprise was the Itch.io app, that basically serves as a Steam-like way to deal with your Itch.io-purchased game library. So Lost…
